| Milforum Chaplain | Post; GERMANY - nice people, nice placeI'm not long back from touring Germany as a chaplain to a group that went there for an event called "World Youth Day." About 1.4 million youth from around the world turned up for the "pilgrimage." Whenever we sat down at a cafe or a restaurant, the locals would shout us a tea/coffee/beer. Many families came out into the streets to give pilgrims sweets or drinks. The towns and country-side were beautiful. Thanks Germany and hope to visit again one day. |

| Centurion | I spent 2 1/2 years in West Germany serving at a US Army border post. We were close enough to East Germany that folks understood and appreciated what we were doing there. I found eastern West Germany to be very welcoming and hospitable. I'm not surprised at all by your experience, Padre.
